+<title
+>Font Installer</title>
+
+<para
+>This module is responsible for installing (and uninstalling) fonts. The installer will configure X (XFree86), XRender, (anti-aliasing), and <application
+>Ghostscript</application
+> (printing), for any TrueType (<literal role="extension"
+>.ttf</literal
+>) and Type1 (<literal role="extension"
+>.pfa</literal
+>, <literal role="extension"
+>.pfb</literal
+>) fonts that you care to install - bitmap (<literal role="extension"
+>.bdf</literal
+>, <literal role="extension"
+>.pcf</literal
+>, <literal role="extension"
+>.snf</literal
+>), and Speedo (<literal role="extension"
+>.spd</literal
+>), fonts will also be installed, but these can only used by X.</para>
+
+<para
+>When the module is started by a normal (non-root) user, then the settings will refer to their personal configuration, and installed fonts will be available to them only. For <systemitem class="username"
+>root</systemitem
+>, the settings will usually refer to the system-wide configuration, and as such any installed fonts should be available to all users.</para>
+<para
+>If you install fonts as a normal user and notice the fonts used for display (and for print preview) do not match those of the printed output - then you should re-install the fonts system-wide (i.e. as <systemitem class="username"
+>root</systemitem
+>). This can occur because when printing the output is sent to a printer queue - and when the system comes to actually send the information to the printer, it is running as a different user (usually <systemitem class="username"
+>lp</systemitem
+>), and cannot find the font files.</para>
+<para
+>To install fonts, simply select the "Add Fonts" button - this will produce a file dialogue, then just locate the fonts to install. Likewise, to remove a font, simply highlight a font and press the "Delete" button.</para>
+<para
+>Fonts may also be "disabled" - this basically just "hides" the font file, so that the font system cannot "see" it. To enable/disable fonts, just highlight the required fonts, and select the "Enable" or "Disable" button. </para>
+<sect2 id="using-konqueror">
+<title
+>Using Konqueror</title>
+<para
+>You can also use Konqueror to install fonts via drag-and-drop. To do this just type <ulink url="fonts:/"
+>fonts:/</ulink
+> into Konqueror's Location bar.</para>
+<para
+>As a normal (non-root) user, this will produce 2 top-level folders:</para>
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem>
+<para
+><ulink url="fonts:/Personal"
+>Personal</ulink
+> - this will display your personal fonts.</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem>
+<para
+><ulink url="fonts:/System"
+>System</ulink
+> - this will display the system wide fonts. If you drag-n-drop a font on to the folders here, you will be asked for the root password in order to install the font.</para>
+</listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+<para
+>If you drop a font over <ulink url="fonts:/"
+>fonts:/</ulink
+>, then you will be asked whether this should go into "Personal", or "System".</para>
+<para
+>As root, just the contents of the system font folder will be displayed - as root does not have any "personal" fonts.</para>
